Introduction to Dynamic Routing Protocols

QuestionAnswer
Administrative Distance Trustworthiness rating of a routing information source. Expressed as a numerical value between 0 & 255. The higher the value the lower the trustworthiness rating. A router w/multiple routing protocols in its table will select the route with the lowest AD.
Algorithm Well-defined rule or process for arriving at a solution for a problem. Commonly used to determine the best route for traffic from a particular source to a particular destination.
Autonomous System (AS) Is a collection of routers under a common administration.
Classful Routing Protocols Do not send subnet mask information in routing updates.
Classless Routing Protocols Include the subnet mask with the network address in routing updates
Converged When all intermediate devices have the same consistent network topology in their routing tables, they have converged.
Discontiguous Components that are fragmented. A discontiguous network is composed of a major network that separates another major network.
Distance Vector Routes are advertised as vectors of distance and direction.
Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP) Used for inter-autonomous system routing which is routing between autonomous systems
Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) Used for intra-autonomous system routing which is routing inside an autonomous system
Link-State Router A router that uses a link-state routing protocol
Link-State Refers to the status of a link, including the interface IP address/subnet mask, type of network, cost of the link, and any neighbor routers on that link.
Path Vector Protocol A routing protocol that marks and shows the path that update information takes as it diffuses through the network. BGP is a user of this kind of protocol because it verifies what autonomous systems the update has passed through to verify loops.
Routing Domain Same as an Autonomous System
Scale To alter to a certain size according to need. A routing protocol is scalable when the router's routing table grows according to the addition of new networks.
Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) Capability to specify a different subnet mask for the same network number on different subnets. VLSM can help optimize available address space.
Vectors A quantity characterized by a magnitude (ie. hops in a path) and a direction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
